Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Continental Tire the Americas is recalling 2,937 tires across three specific models: 4x4 Contact (size 255/55R19 111V XL), PureContact LS (size 215/60R16 95V), and TerrainContact H/T (size 255/55R20 107H). These tires may have been overcured during the manufacturing process, which can lead to structural failures. Continental Tire will replace all affected tires with new ones at no cost to the owner.

Risk

Overcured tires can develop a sudden break in the sidewall or experience tread separation. This can cause a rapid loss of air pressure while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
